how to turn off "...migrated from Rhino to V8 runtime" banner in Google Apps Script Editor?


When I go into Script Editor (e.g. from a Google Sheet or Google Doc), I get a banner at the top of the window that says "This script has been migrated from Rhino to V8 runtime."

There are buttons to "Learn more" and "Dismiss".

How do I turn off this banner permanently for all scripts? It's really annoying to have to Dismiss it every. single. time.


Solution

  • There is no built-in way to dismiss the banner on all the Apps Script projects migrated to V8 at once. Please submit your feedback directly to Google using the Issue Tracker. Ref. How to get Help.

    As was mentioned in the comments, one workaround is to use user-created scripts, like userscript, user styles, and snippets, to hide the banner. Using "general purpose" web browser extensions like Tamper Monkey or uBlock Origin, among others, might help to handle the script, but a few are specific for the Google Apps Script web IDE, like Black Apps Script. I suggest you search the Chrome Extensions Marketplace to look at the details of the available extensions.

    If you don't like extensions, consider using Chrome Web DevTools snippets.

    1. Open DevTools, i.e., press F12.
    2. Open Sources > Snippets
